Safety, trust & environment

Currently I have 2 cats that live in my apartment with me and they are very well taken care of (probably even a little too spoiled!) I don’t have a yard and cannot take pets into my apartment but I can stay in clients homes or do drop-ins. I am very trustworthy as I have worked in the veterinary field for 4+ years so I have lots of experience with patient confidentiality as well as pet care and experience. I am trained in animal first aid in case of an urgent situation as well as having access to high quality veterinary contacts. I am also comfortable with handling and calming nervous or anxious animals that might feel the need to act out at unknown circumstances

Sara handled our anxious ridden diabetic cat so well while we were gone. It was our first time putting the responsibility of blood glucose testing and insulin injections in someone else’s hands and Sara put our minds at ease while we were gone. Our kitty is not the easiest thing to put up with and we are so grateful for Sara doing it for us! We will definitely use her again!

Sara did a great job taking care of our dog Peri. She sent updates throughout the weekend and kept up with Peri’s medication schedule too.

Sara was communicative and did really well with our pups. We have a 6 month old puppy who is high energy so I know it took a lot of attention and energy.

Sara is a wonderful sitter! I would definitely book her again. My dog loves her, and she took great care of him and my two cats while I was away.

Schedule

I’m currently employed full time as a veterinary technician so my daytime hours are limited. However, I can do overnight sitting in a clients home, occasionally check ins and walks for more self sufficient animals. I am free before 6:30 am after 7 pm Mon-Fri and have open availability most weekends. I can do drop-in appointments to give medications for more independent animals. I also offer at-home nail trims for cats and dogs that are okay with being handled and held. If this service interests you, please message me for more details.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Sara can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
I need to know ahead of time if they have any sort of health concern, physical ailment, and their level of socialization around people and animals. I also need to know how long they can go between visits during the daytime. For all pets I would also appreciate having general vaccine information so I can make sure I take them to appropriate environments. This is especially important for puppies and dogs under the age of 2. I can also administer medications so any of those required I need to know of.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
